Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

That's your use case, but you could also want to share a picture with your family, or some confidential logs with a collegue or support team. However, I wouldn't trust any online service for this use case though. If some information is confidential, you should encrypt it yourself, share it with your peer (you could use a pastebin), then share the key over a trusted channel that's different from this pastebin.
